Figure 5

Anomalous poleward moisture flux and sea level pressure over the Pacific side of the Arctic Ocean and the Bering Sea in winter 2017–18. (a) Arrow shows the three-month mean vertically integrated moisture flux in winter 2017–18 between 15 November 2017 and 15 February 2018. Hatching areas exceeded two times as large as one standard deviation of the absolute value of the moisture flux. (b) Shaded shows the anomaly of moisture flux from its climatology. (Contour) Three-month mean sea level pressure (SLP) anomaly. Solid line shows positive SLP anomaly, and broken line shows negative SLP anomaly. Contour interval is 1 hPa.
